In this podcast, veteran journalist-turned-TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sagarika Ghose takes on the BJP’s “politics of Saam, Daam, Dandabhed” following the controversial 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections.

Drawing on her editorial experience, Ghose calls the results “brazenly rigged” by the Election Commission to engineer a BJP victory, citing narrow margins and mass voter deletions. She also condemns the exodus of nearly 20 Lok Sabha MPs and 60 MLAs from the TMC to the BJP, calling it an “astounding moral and ethical deficit.”

Ghose discusses the Baruipur encounter killing as a catastrophic law-and-order failure and warns of a “North Indian encounter Raj” creeping into Bengal. She also strongly defends Mamata Banerjee as South Asia’s last great self-made mass leader battling a deeply patriarchal political machinery.
